I hope that one
day, and I pray it will be in my lifetime, people of all colors can learn to
truly live in peace; and that children can have the opportunity to know the
innocence of youth and the joy of a limitless and bountiful future. It is
my fondest wish that the gift of song that God has given me will flow from my
soul to yours and help ease any burden that might weigh upon you. Until
then I will play my part by singing the spirit into every open heart.
